The reality, of course, is that Hua Lu Li is a hostage in all but name.
To allay everyone's concerns, Hua Lu Li presents herself as a physically frail beauty - one that even the wind can blow over.

First thoughts:
🐼: Royal Rumours (2023) is pretty funny! Meng Zi Yi's is nailing the deviously adorable "frail" beauty role, and to date, her Hua Lu Li easily runs rings around everybody in sight, including Xu Zheng Xi's bemused Crown Prince Ji Yuan Su.
